It took Raph a moment to gather himself, and started walking depressedly towards home. By the time he got to the nearest manhole cover, It was only sprinkling. But that didn't matter to him, the only thing that did matter to him right now, was realizing how he had let Leo go so easily like that. Raph was never going to forgive himself if he never sees his big brother again. He lifted the cover and slid inside into the sewers below.

It was a long and depressing walk back to the the time he got back, he walked throught the turnstiles, and walked to his room. However he never made it to his room cause he was stopped by Mikey.

"Hey Raph, I thought you were going to bring Leo home. Where is he?" Mikey asked tilting his head.

"I really don't want to talk about it Mike.." Raph's voice tailed off a little.

"He didn't die did he?!" Mikey asked starting to freaking out a bit.

"What! No! We just got inta a fight.. and fought, and I kinda said and did some stuff I shouldn't have done, and, well he ran off." He said scratching his head.

"And it didn't occur to you to follow him?" Donnie joined.

"It did, but, just, I don't know. I know I should have, but I didn't. I screwed up, I know, and I have no idea how ta fix it. I don't know where he went, or anything like that! It's all my fault! I know that!" Raph shouted back at Donnie.

"Well you better figure something out! You are on your own on this Raphael. Figure out a way to get Leo to ever trust you again. Come on Mikey, Lets go." The two youngest turtles turned and headed for the lair entrance.

"Where are you guys goin?"

"Were going to see if we can try to find him!" Mikey yelled back.

"No you are not!" an new voice snapped at them making all three of them jump. "It is late you three must look for Leonardo tomorrow."

"But sensei! Leo's out there right now, and If we don't look now, he might get in trouble, or leave the city!" Donnie explained.

"Leonardo will be fine for one night. Now go to your rooms now! I do not want to hear out of any of you until the morning. I also don't want any of you sneaking out. Do I make myself clear?" Splinter said dryly. There was a moment where none of them spoke. Splinter tired again. "Do I make myself clear my sons?"

"Hai sensei…" the three said in unison, and walked to their rooms.

Leo traveled for a little while on the rooftops, and covered the wound with the tails of his mask to make a makeshift bandage. He was on his way to see April. He just really needed to talk to a friend.

He finally arrived to his friends apartment, and tapped on the window glass. He waited for a moment, then the redhead came to the window, and opened it up.

"Leo? What are you doing here?" April questioned. She glanced over to his arm. "Oh my gosh, what happened to your arm?! Come in and let me look at it!" Practically pulling him in. April walked him over to the bathroom to get him cleaned up. She unwrapped his arm to look at the injury. "What happened?" she repeated her question.

Leo stayed silent for a moment, then answered. "Raph and I were having a fight, then he attacked me and started saying things I wish he never said.. then, he cut me with his sai." Leo winced a bit as April was cleaning out the wound.

"Sorry…" She thought over the words Leo had just said and then replied. "Leo that's horrible! Why would Raph do such a thing?"

"He was just mad, and, I don't think I have the strength to go home for a while.. Do you know of anyplace I could sleep in for a while?"

"Tell you what, you can sleep in my living room tonight, stay at my house tomorrow, and on my way to school and back I will try to see if there are any places you can stay." she said as she finished wrapping Leo's arm. "I mean, it's the least I could do for you after the way Raph did this to you."

"Thanks April. I really owe you one." The turtle replied. April lead Leo to the couch and got a pillow and a blanket for him to sleep in.

"Is this enough?"

"Yeah, thanks." Leo replied tucking himself into the blanket. "Hey, where is your aunt? I was wondering this for a little while."

"She's out of town for the week so you don't have to worry about her."the teen said with a smile.

"Oh ok."

"Goodnight Leo."

"Goodnight April. and, thanks again"

April smiled and left the room, leaving Leo alone. It didn't take him long to fall into a deep sleep.

It was morning in New York, and the three younger turtles exited their rooms hoping that Leo returned last night when they were asleep, but the hope was shot down when they found that the eldest brother never returned. So, the two youngests tried not to think about it by going through their routine.

As for Raph, he still felt extremely guilty about what happened and couldn't shake the feeling that something happened to Leo after he ran off. Now Raph was sitting there, in the pit, examining the charm of Leo's didn't want to talk to anyone right now. He just wanted to be alone, with his older brother home and safe, but that wasn't going to happen, and he knew that.

Through Raph's mind, he was trying to figure out how he was going to make Leo forgive him when he came home. He huffed, got up, put the necklace in his pocket, and went over to the punching dummy to let his frustration out.

Meanwhile, mikey was in the kitchen making one of his "masterpieces", but still couldn't get his mind off of Leo. No one in the lair could. Not after Raph chased him away like that. Mikey shook the thought to the back of his mind for now and finished up what he was making. He combined pizza (obviously) with peanut butter. To him it sounded good. But to everyone else in the known planet, it was just nasty.

It was about 9:00 when Leo woke up. He forgot where he was for a moment, then remembered what happened, and why he was here. He sighed at the memory. He really didn't want to speak or see Raph for a really long time. Yet, he still didn't know how long it would be yet. He sighed again, then got up and went to the kitchen to get himself a glass of water. Soon, Leo's T-phone vibrated in his belt, which surprised him for a moment. Leo picked up the T-phone and read the screen. It was a text form April.

"Hey Leo! Good R U up yet?" The text read. Leo simply smirked and replied.

"Hey April, yes I am up. Aren't U supposed to Be in school?" He pressed send and put the phone down. 'I might as well do some meditating while I'm here. I have nothing better to do. Plus, it will help me get my mind off of last night...' Leo thought. Leo walked out of the kitchen with his glass of water and sat down on the carpet of April's living room. He set the water down on the table next to him a long with his phone, and cleared his mind. Pretty soon he was in deep meditation mode.

April walked into her apartment at around 3:30.

"Leo! I'm home!" No one answered. "Hello?" Still no reply. 'Thats weird...' She started to look around only to find her friend still meditating on her living room floor. April smiled at how peaceful Leo looked at the moment. But she had to get him out of this state. She walked over and kneeled down in front of him, and lightly shook him.

It startled Leo because he was not expecting it, but didn't show it. He simply opened his eyes and smiled at his friend. "Hey April." He says softly.

"Hey. Did you not get my last texts? You had me a little worried.." She said letting him go and went to next to him.

Leo grabbed his phone and noticed he had 4 un-read messages from April. He must have not heard it vibrate. "Sorry. I didn't hear it. And sorry for making you worry..." He said.

"It's ok," she gave him a sideways hug, and squeezed his shoulders. "I wasn't too worried, I knew you could take care of yourself if anything came up." she released the turtle. "Hey, I also found a place you could stay at!"

"Really?!" He asked.

"Yeah, it's an abandon apartment building about a block away from my school! Here is the address." April handed Leo a piece of paper with the address on it.

Leo looked at the address. "And your sure it's abandoned?"

"Yes I am sure. I looked up the address online on my phone and the website I found said it was abandoned for a few years. It looks pretty suitable to live in for the time being." April simply replies.

"Cool, I'll go check it out tonight." Leo put the address in his T-Phone, and put the paper and the phone in his belt.

"Ok, so in the meantime what are you going to do? I have homework to do so I won't be able to hang out with out..." April said kinda sadly.

"It's fine, I'm pretty sure I can figure out something to do. Go and do your homework." He gave her a little smile.

"Well if your sure-"

"I'm sure."

"Ok, I will be in my room of you need me." She said while getting up. She grabbed her backpack and went to her room.

Leo thought for a moment. He looked around. He realized that April's living room was pretty big considering it was an apartment. He might as well practice some katas.

He got up and walked into the middle of the room. He had about 5 1/2 feet of room around him. That was enough room for him. He didn't even bother picking up his swords. He left them where he was sitting. It didn't really matter. After all he needed to practice katas that didn't need his swords anyway. He concentrated, then started his training.
